I'm planning on making gingerbread men this year and can't find one recipe on this site. I made some last year from one of my cookbooks and hated it.
My GB cookie cutter is 7" so they will be quite large. Looking for a recipe that's not too soft, but not hard or crispy either.

Any help out there? Thanks.

I use this recipe all the time and get compliments with every batch. The recipe is listed on
http://www.christmas-cookies.com/recipes/recipe43.spicygingerbreadcookies.html

You can also read the reviews of the recipe there too. It calls for a small amount of black pepper which makes them nice and spicy.

Good luck!

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I just got a set of 101 cookie cutters from my DH and DS(3 of them). I have a new house cutter and gingerbread person cutter. I am gonna make some for a Festival we are having at our church this weekend.

I personally like the Wilton gingerbread recipe - i find it exceptionally easy to make, its a dream to work with, and it does bake up very sturdy. Every year, we put on a Gingerbread House Decorating Party for our 2 boys & all their friends - and the Wilton recipe has seen us through 8 years of this.

Here's the link:

good luck!
